【題目】 Kites are one of the most popular Chinese inventions. Used for both fun and work, Chinese kites are an important part of Chinese culture and history. It is believed that the invention of the kite was an important step in the invention of the airplane.

The first kite was invented in ancient China around 3,000 years ago. And the first Chinese kites were made out of wood, but once paper was invented, paper kites became popular. Bamboo and silk are also used in making kites.

Early Chinese kites were not toys. They were actually used for military（軍事的）purposes. The first written account（記述）of kite flying took place in China around 200BC during the Han Dynasty（朝代）when a Chinese General flew a kite over the wall of a city he planned to attack.

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了風(fēng)箏的發(fā)展、制作、歷史以及在不同歷史時(shí)代，風(fēng)箏對(duì)人們生活的影響和意義。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Early Chinese kites were not toys. They were actually used for military（軍事的）purposes早期的中國(guó)風(fēng)箏不是玩具。它們確實(shí)被用于軍事目的”可知風(fēng)箏最開始并不是讓人們?nèi)ネ娴�，而是用于軍事目的，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“And the first Chinese kites were made out of wood, but once paper was invented, paper kites became popular. Bamboo and silk are also used in making kites而且一開始的風(fēng)箏是用木頭做的，但是一旦紙被發(fā)明，紙風(fēng)箏變得受歡迎。竹子和絲綢也常被用于制作風(fēng)箏�！笨芍�道風(fēng)箏可以通過(guò)木頭、紙、竹子和絲綢被制作，故選C。

【3】語(yǔ)義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段“ For example, during the Qing Dynasty, it was believed that flying a kite and then letting it go was a way to let go of trouble, bad luck, and illness例如，在清朝，人們認(rèn)為放風(fēng)箏，然后讓它走，是一種驅(qū)除麻煩，壞運(yùn)氣和疾病的方式”可知在古代中國(guó)放風(fēng)箏是一種迷信行為，故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Kites became a form of recreation（娛樂(lè)）during the Tang Dynasty among the wealthy family在唐朝有錢人家里風(fēng)箏變成了一種娛樂(lè)形式”可知風(fēng)箏變成娛樂(lè)形式是在唐朝，故選B。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)整篇文章內(nèi)容以及“Today, every year in April an event takes place in Weifang. Shandong Province今天，每年四月在山東濰坊都會(huì)發(fā)生一場(chǎng)活動(dòng)”可知文章介紹了從古至今風(fēng)箏的發(fā)展歷史，故選C。

細(xì)節(jié)理解類的題目是中考英語(yǔ)必考的題型之一。特別看重考生的細(xì)節(jié)分析能力，考生可以通過(guò)仔細(xì)閱讀文章段落的內(nèi)容，認(rèn)真分析理解句子意思，對(duì)問(wèn)題的正確與否進(jìn)行合理判斷，選出正確答案。例如小題1，根據(jù)第三段“Early Chinese kites were not toys. They were actually used for military（軍事的）purposes”可知風(fēng)箏最早是用于軍事目的，并不是為了人們玩樂(lè)，所以選項(xiàng)C是錯(cuò)誤的，根據(jù)此方法可以判斷其他三項(xiàng)是正確的，最終選出正確答案。
